Hey there everyone! I am a small business that repairs electronics based in Paraguay, South America (google if you must) I thought I would try streaming some of my work and answer questions along the way.
I work on Apple devices and bring them back from the grave (ghost sounds)

Thanks!
And also I read that some people faced problem not with flex cable length itself. But with dust that accumulates under flex cables (this one that you cleaned with brush) and rubs the cable over time. What causes problems with the Display Matrix and so on. Are you supposed to clean in time to time? And can you not disassemble your mac and just use compressed air outside the hinge?
Great work! What kind of tape is used on flex cable?

It is actually a specific pin-stripe for cars that I use. Durable, flexible, long life.
Hi! Can you please compare 2016/2017 pro’s flex cables with 2018 pro. Cause I saw that Apple adress that problem and make backlight cable 2mm longer. Is it actually true? And we no longer have the same issue with newer macs
Great work, what kind knife you used to take that glue, I am failing at that😢

I use a number 15 surgical blade :)
I’m curious why people aren’t using solder paste on the cable repairs?

Interesting, I am curious why you think that would be a better thing to do? I can’t really think of a reason to not try that? I just prefer the way I am use to and it’s cleanup process.
Where are you located? Need to send mine for repair (from France)
brother, I need your help, I have an imac a1418 (2014) that drives me crazy, it does not provide audio, the strange thing is that it does provide audio when the machine starts, once the system starts, it does not do so, it does not detect any device, except one that says digital output, I have already ruled out the system, I already changed the headphone jack, I measured if voltage was reaching the codec, and if it did, (just in case I replaced it) and the problem continues, I no longer know what to do, thanks in advance .
Is this method as good as soldering one on top of the other like other repairs have shown? (not the using wires to join, the sandwich way is best I can describe it).

I like this method better. There are no harsh bends in the cable :)
would you offer this as a preemptive repair? such as the kflexgaet hasn't happened yet.

Hey! I have not offered this as a preemtive repair. I have seen so many systems just working fine and flexgate never happened to them some reason. But technically, yes it could be.
I missed it!
